Australian cities began easing lockdown restrictions as the country recorded a drop in community transmission of COVID-19, with only one new case reported in the last 24 hours.
"We are winning but we have not won yet," Health Minister Greg Hunt stressed.
Australia, which imposed an early shutdown of borders and businesses, has managed to reduce the number of cases and deaths.
Coronavirus testing centres have been set up across the country, with the government urging people to undergo tests regardless of whether they have symptoms.
A month after being closed for violations on social distancing rules, Bondi Beach and two neighbouring beaches in Sydney were reopened to local residents on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, New South Wales (NSW) state announced easing of stay-at-home rules.
"Two adults will be able to go and visit anybody else in their home on the basis of care, on the basis of reducing socialisation and everybody's mental health," said NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, with children allowed to accompany adults on house visits.
